It will be obvious to those skilled in the art to which my invention relates that modifications may be made in details without departing from the spirit thereof. Hence I do not limit myself to the precise mode of procedure and construction above set forth; but,

Having thus described the nature and objects of my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is#

l. A gas-controller comprising the combination of a lower tubular shell provided with gas-intake connections and with a valve-support clearing the same, an upper tubular shell provided internally at its top with a valveseat having' a gasway and with a cylindrical skirt having a gas-port, a float-valve having its disk coniined to move in the skirt by the valve-support and having the end portion of its tubular spindle arranged to cooperate with said valve-seat, and an adjustable screw having its head penetrating the upper portion of the top casing' and its point arranged to open and close the port, substantially as described.

2. A gas-controller comprising the combination of a lower tubular shell provided with gasintake connections and with a valve-support clearing the same, an upper tubular shell provided internally at its top with a valve-seat having' a gasway and with a cylindrical skirt having a gas-port, a iioat-valve having its disk confined to move in the skirt by the valvesupport and having' the end portion of its-tubular spindle arranged to cooperate with said valve-seat, an adjustable screw having its head penetrating' the upper portion of the top casing and its point arranged to open and close the port, and a movable ring for covering and uncovering the head of the screw, substantially as described.

3. A gas-controller comprising the combination of a lower tubular shell provided with gas-intake connections and with a valve-s upport clearing the same, an upper tubular shell provided internally at its top with a valveseat having a gasway and with a cylindrical skirt having a gas-port, a float-valve having its disk confined to move in the skirt by the valve-support and having the end portion of its tubular spindle arranged to cooperate with said valve-seat, an adjustable screw having its head penetrating the upper portion of the top casing and its point arranged to open and close the port, and a movable ring having a concave face for covering' and accommodating the head of the screw, substantially as described.

covering the head, substantially as described.

5. The combination of a gas-controller casing' having an extending projection, the head of a gas-g'overnor-adjusting screw projecting through the casing, and a movable ring encircling the projection and having a concave face for covering' and uncovering the head, substantially as described.

6. A gas-controller comprising the combination of a lower tubular shell provided with gas-intake connections and a support for holding a valve clear of the same, an upper tubular shell provided at its top with a threaded projection having a jet-orifice and a valve-seat and provided beneath with a depending skirt having a gas-port, a valve having its disk coniined to move in the skirt by the valve-support and the end portion of its tubular stem arranged to cooperate with said valve-seat, anV

adjusting-screw having its head penetrating the upper portion of the upper casing and its point arranged to open and close the port, and a ring screwed onto the threaded projection and adapted to cover and uncover the head of the screw, substantially as described.

7. A gas-controller comprising the combination of a lower tubular shell provided with gas-intake connections and a support for holding a valve clear of the same, an upper tubular shell provided at its top with a threaded projection having a jet-orifice and a valve-seat and provided beneath with a depending skirt having a gas-port, a valve having its disk confined to move in the skirt by the valve-sup port and the end portion of its tubular stem arranged to cooperate with said valve-seat, an adjusting-screw having its head penetrating the Lipper portion of the upper casing and its point arranged to open and close the port, and a ring mounted on the threaded projection and adapted to cover and uncover the head of the screw, substantially as described.

8. The combination of a gas-controller provided at its top' with a threaded projection, an adjusting-screw penetrating the upper portion of the governor-shaft and having' its head accessible from the top thereof, and a ring mounted onto the projection and adapted to cover and uncover the head of the screw, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name.

VICTOR H. SLINACK.
